Hi Unregistered,

I'm excited to see what they can pull off with 3D models. Really just hoping for natural movements for a more fluid battle, but it's quite impossible to determine how it is going to look with, like, 30 seconds of battle gameplay.

Don't know why people are so upset with the models. I mean, it would be like complaining about Mario because he is no longer a sprite. I mean, I will miss the sprites, but the games gotta keep on evolving. They would have to use models at some point, so why not in the 3DS game?

I really want a transfer in this game, want to check out all my favorite Pokémon, 3D model style!

I think that the graphics look really good, but the protagonist of X and Y looks a bit like the main character from the new Animal Crossing... Ah, whatever. I feel as if these graphics are going to turn some people away, which is disappointing. I also think that Gen 6 will be Awesome!

imo about this new upgaming game is a bit harsh in my opinion...being a first generation person i personally don't mind the graphics i think its a step up and the pokemon attacks actually move for once...i hated how my boyfriend would make fun of that XD but anyway imo the pokemon new layout though is a bit horrible...im very dissapointed on the art style side of the the new pokemon...the graphics are amazing but the pokemon i want to puke...im not saying it will be a horrible game to play...im just saying i think nintendo is getting to the end of stretching and tryin something new to far...in a sum up about the game outside graphics for the 3ds is very nice but imo i really don't like the new pokemon set graphics...

Compared to, say, PMD: Gates to Infinity, it's not that great for a 3DS game. Then again, it might've been necessary to go with lower quality graphics in order for them to feasibly fit all 649+ Pokemon in the game.

Hopefully, these fights will be faster-paced than they were on the old console games. I'm not here for eye candy, I'm here to prove my worth as best Pokemon Trainer in the history of me, and the last thing we need is to spend an entire minute to one-shot a Patrat.

Wondering how animations off will work for this game. It'll definitely seem odd.

I am very excited for the new gameplay. It gives players a reason to continue. Really, I love the style they had (and will miss it) but I am definitely prepared to try this. It looks great, and I will burst of joy as I slide the cartridge into my black 3DS. The open world style and new battle mechanics will be practically, a different game! I love it.

hello i used to do art and run clubs and play competitive and then i was inactive for a long time and now im back-ish maybe

It seems most of the animations are fairly quick (the longest seemed to be Inferno) and I dont' see them going back to a slow text crawl or having the HP go down after the attack hits (Even PBR fixed that).

Assuming they have animations off (which they might not...), I could see them instead using a stock punch/tackle animation for physicals and a quick bound for specials/status. Something that has the pokemon not just stand there but will be quick enough so that it ends before the text crawl finishes.

IIRC (don't bash me to death if this is wrong, the last console fighter I played was XD:GoD like a year ago), what took so long in the past was the need to watch the Pokemon prep their attacks, stepping back and tilting their head for special attacks and running up for physical attacks. If they remove that, it'll probably be way quicker.

I don't understand why people are complaining about the 3D graphics. FANS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS SINCE THE N64 DAYS (Granted the game isn't on the Wii U.)
I don't care if the sprites are gone, sure it will kill off some of the fan love but it's about time Pokemon made this transition. Sprites can only go so far until they make too much space, believe it or not 3D models make much less room because you have to coordinate on how pokemon move or react instead of making every movement/reaction through pixels.

Just hoping for fluent animation like in Battle Revolution but it doesn't look like the case however nobody has the right to judge. Generation 5 went by fast, oh well. All I'm hoping for is online matches like in generation 4.

i think the new 3d models look a little like the 2d sprites theres a picture of the grass starter on pokebeach in game and looks like both 2d and 3d at the same time

The enhanced graphics will take some getting used to. At the moment, I think it's kind of neat that everything looks so snazzy, but at the same time I'm going to miss the old graphics. Oh well, at least the Pokemon battles in these games look more intense. That's all that really matters to me to be honest.
